+// specify a different capacity; it must be no smaller than the
+// length, so make([]int, 0, 10) allocates a slice of length 0 and
+// capacity 10.
+// Map: An initial allocation is made according to the size but the
+// resulting map has length 0. The size may be omitted, in which case
+// a small starting size is allocated.

+// buffer capacity. If zero, or the size is omitted, the channel is
+// unbuffered.

+// The panic built-in function stops normal execution of the current

+// immediately. Any functions whose execution was deferred by F are run in
+// the usual way, and then F returns to its caller. To the caller G, the
+// invocation of F then behaves like a call to panic, terminating G's
+// execution and running any deferred functions. This continues until all
+// functions in the executing goroutine have stopped, in reverse order. At
+// that point, the program is terminated and the error condition is reported,
+// including the value of the argument to panic. This termination sequence
+// is called panicking and can be controlled by the built-in function
+// recover.
+func panic(v interface{})
+
+// The recover built-in function allows a program to manage behavior of a
+// panicking goroutine. Executing a call to recover inside a deferred
+// function (but not any function called by it) stops the panicking sequence
+// by restoring normal execution and retrieves the error value passed to the
+// call of panic. If recover is called outside the deferred function it will
+// not stop a panicking sequence. In this case, or when the goroutine is not
+// panicking, or if the argument supplied to panic was nil, recover returns
+// nil. Thus the return value from recover reports whether the goroutine is
+// panicking.
